BA W495 World Performance
This module offers students a unique opportunity to undertake an intensive case-study, working with a visiting practitioner in workshops, research, and performance. The content naturally varies according to the visiting artist(s) but will typically be either a non-Western or an Intercultural approach or performance form.
(Note that at least some of these units are taught in parallel, not in sequence, throughout the module and that the timespan of the work varies with the residency of the visiting artist.)
The aims of the module are:
1. To offer students knowledge and practical skills gained through working with professional performers in a specific World Performance field
2. To explore and experiment with a performance form in a professional context
3. To support students, through their independent research, in gaining insight into the chosen performance form
Students will be able to demonstrate:
1. Knowledge and understanding of the cultural context and significance of the chosen performance form
2. The ability to identify, select, and deploy appropriate performance skills for the chosen performance form
3. The ability to conduct independent research
4. The ability to work collaboratively with peers and with professional practitioners, respecting the working methods of the visiting company
5. The ability to reflect critically on, and to articulate, their own personal and professional response to the work with the visiting company
No additional information available.
Teaching Methods: 2 x 3-hour workshops per week.
1. Context
Seminar and workshop sessions, supported by students' own independent research, to introduce the specific context of the visiting company's work.
2. Workshops
Practical workshops with members of the visiting company, supported by East 15 tutors where appropriate, to develop students' performance skills and to create the assessed performance.
